- Description:
- The PowerDNS Authoritative Server is a versatile nameserver which supports a
large number of backends. These backends can either be plain zone files or be
more dynamic in nature.
PowerDNS has the concepts of 'backends'. A backend is a datastore that the
server will consult that contains DNS records (and some metadata). The backends
range from database backends (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and BIND zone files to
co-processes and JSON API's.
Multiple backends can be enabled in the configuration by using the launch
option. Each backend can be configured separately.

- If upgrading from < 3.4.0:
- This version needs a mandatory schema change for the gmysql, gpgsql,
and gsqlite3 backends. SQL statements are available in
/usr/local/share/doc/powerdns or at https://doc.powerdns.com/.
- If upgrading from > 4.0.0 and < 4.2.0:
- Autoserial support has been removed. The change_date column has been
removed from the records table in all gsql backends, but leaving it
in is harmless.
The Generic PostgreSQL backend schema has changed: the notified_serial
column type in the domains table has been changed from INT DEFAULT NULL
to BIGINT DEFAULT NULL:
ALTER TABLE domains ALTER notified_serial TYPE bigint USING CASE
WHEN notified_serial >= 0 THEN notified_serial::bigint END;
This version needs a mandatory schema change for the gmsyql, godbc
(mssql), gpgsql, and gsqlite3 backends. SQL statements are available
in /usr/local/share/doc/powerdns or at https://doc.powerdns.com/.
- If upgrading from > 4.2.0 and < 4.3.0:
- MyDNS and OpenDBX backends had been removed per https://Blog.PowerDNS.com/2019/10/17/backend-removals-in-the-upcoming-authoritative-server-release/.
The new "unpublished DNSSEC keys" feature comes with a mandatory schema
change for all database backends (including BIND with a DNSSEC database).
This version needs a mandatory schema change for the gmsyql, godbc(mssql),
gpgsql, and gsqlite3 backends. SQL statements are available in
/usr/local/share/doc/powerdns or at https://doc.powerdns.com/.
For the LMDB backend, please review lmdb-schema-version (https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/backends/lmdb.html#setting-lmdb-schema-version).
- If upgrading from > 4.3.0 and < 4.7.0:
- This version needs a mandatory schema change for gmysql, godbc (mssql),
gpsql, and gsqlite3 backends.
SQL statements are available at https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/blob/master/modules in their respective subfolders as "4.3.0_to_4.7.0_schema.xxsql.sql".
